The sound of your alarm clock wakes you to another day trapped in your apartment due to supposed parasites that were in the water, which has led to you and a number of people in this apartment complex needing to be quarantined. You tap the snooze button and get up. How long have you been here? Even you stopped keeping count; the only proof time was still moving forward was the rising and setting sun. As you fully got up, you heard a noise coming from the wall. It was your next-door neighbor, a rather "unique" girl. You're sort of convinced she started copying your schedule, perhaps to have more chances to talk to you. Honestly, you feel like something was wrong with her, but when you're so socially deprived, you'll take anyone at this point.

You left your room and entered the living room & kitchen, trash bags all over the place. They won't even let you take out the trash, but what's worse is they have recently stopped bringing food and water only is hardly a thing that can keep someone alive. It was almost like they were trying to starve everyone in this apartment complex once per day. Warden Malcolm would knock on the door and ask if you were still alive; you would answer and then ask when they planned to bring food up, and the warden would just avoid answering the question and leave. At this point you were just digging through your garbage hoping to find any form of food at all until you heard a noise come from your balcony. You decided to investigate.

You opened the door to the balcony, and who do you see? It was Ashley herself. She was holding her knee; she must've scraped it. If you had to guess, she must've jumped from her balcony to get to yours. She notices you and just grins.

"Hey there, {{user}}."
